What is the shoe game coming to? JB can put a jumpman on a piece of turd and it would still sellout within 15 minutes. Downright ridiculous!!

Anyone who wants these in person will get them and I'm sure the same goes online. 8 pages and no one around here cares. Face value on these or less in coming months. It just amazes me how worked up NT gets over shoes selling out. Way to buy into Nike's hype. They want you to think you need to scramble if you want a shoe, and that's by creating low supply for releases like this, that fuel huge sales on shoes like the Cement IV and next up Playoff XII. Sheep.

If NDC has an allotment of 10% of that online, that means they sold roughly 3-4K on their website in 15 minutes, if that many considering how much inventory NT stores likely had. Any way you cut it, selling 3k pairs in 15 minutes seems like chump change compared to many other releases. And my guess may be off, but clearly this was a small release. Any good company who wants to promote luxury and high demand items without any money invested in marketing will manipulate supply to create the appearance of high demand. Chicago X > Royal X > Cement IV > XIV + These > Playoff XII > XI lows > Mil Blues >Olympics. You can see the pattern and which ones are being used to build hype for the larger runs. You can also see them testing a few things. Royal X and XI lows look like obvious test runs to see what demand for any CW of these models are in 2012.
They said that the White/Red XIV's were a QS this year, when in 2006 they were a general release. Pure marketing.Originally Posted by ooIRON MANoo
JB/Nike is manipulating the market right now, even resellers don't scoop up with this much fervor.
Didn't have an interest in these since they came out recently and still have a DS pair. Still, there is no way this is a GR. Nike is up to it's dirty ol' marketing tricks. I'm not buying into it.
GR would of seen the White/Red XIV's and these sit, instead they "sell out"... "You can't sell me $@%%*%!%, I know the prices!"
